Mindful Employer Leeds invites you to the September Network Event. This session will be hosted by TransUnion (formerly Call Credit) in Leeds City Centre. This event will focus on ‘Challenging Stigma in the Workplace’. You can expect:

• Guest Speaker: Carole Sayer is the Senior Adviser/Conciliator for ACAS Yorkshire & Humber, and she will be discussing the ways that ACAS has worked to challenge stigma in the workplace and ensure it is an environment which works for everyone. In this work ACAS collaborated with Mindful Employer to create positive and sustainable change.

• Lived Experience Speaker: We are very fortunate to be joined by Madlen Sayar, the new Working Carers Coordinator and Support Work for Carers Leeds. Madlen will be sharing her experiences of stigma in the workplace and providing advice on how to challenge it and create a supportive environment.

• Employer Case Study: Speaker Nicola Stewart, Directorate Improvement Officer at Leeds City Council, will be discussing her role as Deputy Chair of the Healthy Minds Staff Network. This staff peer support network at the Council has created a space where no employee is judged and the stigma attached to poor mental health is blown away. This network is one of the ways Leeds City Council puts health and wellbeing at the heart of workplace practice.
